I have 2379 rows in my file table and all of these are in the active/0 directory. I am using the Acidfree and because each image uploaded has 3 images (thumb,small,large). It is easy to go over 2000 files in the 0 dir.

When you change the Maximum files per directory value it should reorganicse the files to meat the new value, maybe using the cron. Or a update script should be created because manually moving files form 0 to 1 and 2.. Is a little crazy when you have 100's of files.

Does it already do this or has anybody thought about this yet.

There is a patch in bug http://drupal.org/node/39105 for filemanager that fixes this. Also, the patch is included in the latest version of acidfree-private.patch with Acidfree.

As for reorganization, doing a mass update of images from public to private and back should do the trick. But don't try this until you have done it with a single image to be sure that it works.
